About this episode
I'm so excited to share this week's episode with you as it is one of the topics that I have personally struggled with (and continue to work on) and that is understanding how to combine colours to create outfits that feel amazing . So when I want to learn more about anything style related I turn to the fabulous style gurus that have joined me on the podcast and this week it is a delight to welcome back Imogen Lamport of Inside Out Style . Imogen was the first person to introduce me to the concept of picking colours and fabrics that mirrored my facial features such as hair, skin, eyes and lips, picking up the properties of those features such as colour and texture. When I recently discovered the impact of value and colour contrast I knew I had to share it with you as it is such a simple yet powerful way of designing and planning what you make to have maximum impact. In this episode you will hear: > What Value and Colour Contrast are > Why some colours and colour combinations work for you and why some don't > How to discover your own level of value contrast > How to create outfits that reflect and match your value contrast > How Disney princesses can help us understand colour contrast and how to identify your optimum colour contrast > How to combine colours and neutrals to perfectly suit you > How to use colour and value contrast to pick the best patterned fabrics for your makes > and much more!
